How long to run my lights

[Noah Chapman]

I have a 10 gallon tank stocked with corals and fish. Right now I have a kessil a160 tuna blue. I run them about 10 hours starting the day off with 15% intensity for about 30 minutes then it goes up to 35% intransitive for 9 hours, then down to 10% for the last hour. I’m just wondering what intesities I should run and for how long. Any advice is much appreciated!

What kind of corals? How high above the surface is the light mounted?

A torch some zoa’s and a ricordea. The lights about 5-6 inches off the water.

10 hours is on the high end. 8 hours is considered to be about right.
